Lenovo Joins Green Mobile Phone Alliance – will Le Phone come to US?

Lenovo is well know for delivering excellent security solutions on its range of ThinkPad laptops and has now joined nearly 100 other Chinese companies to establish a Green Mobile Phone Alliance, which the company hopes will reduce security concerns for mobile device users.

The strategy, which was adopted by some of the largest names in Chinese technology development – including Spreadtrum Communications, Inc., Hisense, and of course, Lenovo – sets a variety of goals and standards for developers. The end result, the companies say, is to fight malware and other parasitic programs, as well as reduce the number of pre-installed programs that spread obscene material. The companies also hope to work with partners and clients to work together to eliminate illegal software and develop more energy-conscious devices.

According to a company spokesperson these goals are becoming increasingly vital as mobile phones become essential tools for everyday lives. The spokesperson said that pre-installed programming have served as a double-edged sword for mobile phone owners, providing not only convenience and fun, but also excessive fees and, in some cases, obscene content.

Lenovo is helping conquer the pre-installed software problem early on. For example, it took major manufacturers like Dell ten years of active consumer and expert criticism to address the same problem in their laptops.

While Lenovo is not necessarily known as a mobile phone manufacturer here in the US, they are, in fact, the third largest builder in China. There are no publicized plans at the moment to bring forth large-scale mobile phone marketing and sales projects here, their experience – and dedication to clean operating systems – will come in extremely handy in their new Android-powered devices.

We just hope that we will see the Lenovo Skylight, the Lenovo IdeaPad U1, and the superb Lenovo Le Phone in the US before to long. Is that to much to ask Lenovo?
